Figure Lengend Snippet: IL-17B stimulation of IL-17BR can drive migration and metastasis. (A) Expression of il-17br was analyzed using qRT-PCR. Metastatic cells were compared with matched primary tumors. N=3 except for the SUM1315-BP2 mouse bone data point where too few metastases inhibited significance. (B) Serum-starved SUM1315, SUM1315-BP2 and MDA-MB-231 BCCs showed a dose-dependent reaction to IL-17B stimulation after 6-hours. No increase in migration was observed for MCF7 BCCs. (C) Serum-starved SUM1315 and MDA-MB-231 BCCs (mock infected or infected with lentivirus to overexpress il-17br cDNA) migrated for 6-hours on transwell migration assays. (D) Bioluminescent imaging of human bone fragments, lungs, and livers was used to assess metastasis frequency.
Article Snippet: For IL-17B migration assays, 20 ng/mL rhIL-17B (R&D Systems) was added to BCCs before seeding.
